At the command prompt type: telnet XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
(the X's indicate the current IP of the printer)
Once in the telnet mode type in ip:NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN
(the N's indicate the printer's new IP address)

Make sure your subnet mask and gateway are correct. At
the end of the session type in "quit" this will save your
changes.
